U.S. officials said the administration could provide the
rebels with a range of weapons, including small arms, ammunition, assault rifles
and a variety of anti-tank weaponry such as shoulder-fired remote-propelled
grenades and other missiles. However, a final decision on the inventory has not
been made, the officials said.

The Washington Post also quotes Ben
Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor, as saying, “This is going to
be different in both scope and scale in terms of what we are
providing.”

(Ben Rhodes may be familiar
to some observers as the brain child behind a “story-telling” PSY-OP against
the Assad government early which entailed taking over Syrian television stations
and broadcasting demoralizing messages to discourage the Syrian people and
encourage desertion among Assad’s ranks.)

Regardless, in addition to
weapons shipments, the White House has asked U.S. military planners to present
proposals for increasing American involvement inside Syria.

In what appears to be an almost verbatim repeat of the Libyan
tragedy, albeit on a slower time scale, one of the proposals being considered
consists of creating a “no-fly zone” inside Syria, “stretching up to 25 miles into Syria which would be enforced using aircraft
flown from Jordanian bases and flying inside the kingdom, according to U.S.
officials.”

Of course, anyone even slightly familiar with
the crisis taking place in Syria should be aware that American claims that the
United States has only been providing non-lethal aid to the al-Qaeda death
squads who have terrorized the country for two years are patently absurd since
the U.S. and its partner nations of the Anglo-American establishment have
been arming the death squads via Saudi Arabia and other Gulf State feudal
monarchies ever since the destabilization campaign began. The fact that they
would now remove the thin veil of cover provided to these operations now,
however, is revealing in that the Anglo-Americans have now seemingly committed
themselves to military action. This much is evidenced even more so by the open
discussion of the implementation of a no-fly zone.

All of these
preparations for invasion and plunder, however, have been justified by the
claims that the United States has “conclusive evidence President Bashar Assad’s
government used chemical weapons against opposition forces trying to overthrow
him.” This, of course, crossed the ridiculous “red line” that Barack Obama and
his counterparts drew in the sand several months ago when media outlets and
Western governments felt more confident in their ability to stage such attacks
inside Syria themselves, blaming the attacks on Assad, and justifying subsequent
military action as a result.

The American people, proving themselves
incapable of showing any limits to their own gullibility, are about to be led
into yet another Middle Eastern war against another innocent and sovereign
nation, on the basis of “intelligence” indicating the possession or use of a
“weapon of mass destruction.”

WMDs were a big lie in Iraq. Chemical
weapons are a big lie in Syria.

That is, use of chemical weapons by the
Syrian government are a big lie. There have, indeed, been documented cases of
use of chemical weapons inside the country. However, these attacks were
committed by the death squads of the West, not the government of
Assad.

Remember, UN investigator Carla del Ponte stated to Western media outlets as far back as March that
chemicals weapons were used, not by the Syrian government, but the Syrian death
squads that the Western media so desperately attempts to promote as freedom
fighters and peaceful protesters.

It
is also helpful to remember that as far back as June 2012, the pieces were
clearly seen being moved into place in order to create the environment and
subsequent chain of events for a successful false flag attack used to justify an
invasion of or, at the very least, some limited military action against Syria.
However, the more hidden aspects being used to create infrastructure for such an
event could be seen going back even further.

For instance, in November,
2011, it was reported in The Telegraph that the “transitional” government of
terrorists, Muslim Brotherhood, and NATO puppets in Libya were offering to send money, personnel (aka terrorists and mercenaries), and weapons to the death squads
operating in Syria. It was largely understood, at least after the initial
announcement of the weapons deal, that the weapons in question included chemical
weapons.

Later, in June of 2012, it was reported by Russia
Today that these weapons had indeed found themselves into the hands of the
death squads by virtue of their Libyan counterparts now acting as head of the
failed Libyan State. RT stated that, “They allegedly plan to use it against
civilians and pin the atrocity on the Bashar al-Assad regime.”

Thus, it
should be noted that the London Guardian reported that Libya possessed “25 metric
tonnes of bulk mustard agent and 1,400 metric tonnes of precursor chemical used
to make chemical weapons."

It was also reported in
August of 2012 that the death squads had managed to capture a missile site
belonging to the Syrian army which contained chemical weapons. The death squads
erroneously claimed that the reason for attacking the site was to prevent the
Assad government from using the weapons against members of the “opposition.”
Regardless, one does not have to speculate very much as to the possibilities
available here - in June, the death squads gain access to chemical weapons. In
August, they gain access to a delivery mechanism in the form of
missiles.

It is just such a coincidence that should cause one to examine
another event which occurred shortly before the assault on the missile site. In
July 2012, Tony Cartalucci of LandDestroyerReport, described “reports of
so-called 'Free Syrian Army' militants seen trying on gas masks, along with
reports of Libyan chemical weapon caches & equipment being discovered in
Damascus.”

Together with the acquisition of the missile delivery
capability by virtue of the conquering of the Syrian missile site and the
possession of the chemical weapons themselves via Libya, the acquisition of gas
masks points to the preparation for the launch of an actual chemical attack, or
at least the possibility of it, on the part of the death squads.

As one
of the death squad members stated to Reuters in April, 2012, "The rebels are getting better at
bomb-making; as you know, desperation is the mother of invention." Reuters also
commented that the death squads were now able to develop “more sophisticated
bombs” due to “rare outside donations” although Reuters did not attempt to name
those mysterious sources.

Moving forward to August 2012, a false flag
plot was discovered which had been hatched between NATO and Saudi Arabia that
would have staged a chemical weapons deployment in Syria either by mercenary
firms or by the NATO-backed death squads, an attack that would subsequently have
been blamed on the Assad government, thus serving as a pretext for NATO
intervention and the creation of a “buffer zone” in the country.

According to Paul Joseph Watson, the source reporting the
impending attack stated to Syrian news channel Addounia that a Saudi Arabian
firm “had fitted 1400 ambulance vehicles with anti-gas & anti-chemical
filtering systems at a cost of $97,000 dollars each, in preparation for a
chemical weapons attack carried out by FSA rebels using mortar rounds. A further
400 vehicles have been prepared as troop carriers.”

Interestingly enough,
the attack was set to make use of white phosphorous, sarin and mustard gas. It
then stands as yet another questionable “coincidence” that, among the weapons
possessed by the Libyan regime and now in the hands of the death squads, was
large quantities of bulk mustard agent.

Nevertheless,
the potential false flag attack reported by Addounia was set to be launched on densely
populated areas, most likely Daraa, a city on the Syria/Jordan border, after
which the newly fitted ambulances would pour into Syria under the guise of
humanitarian aid. Although painted with the labels, “Syrian People’s Relief,”
the ambulances would actually be nothing more than armored personnel carriers
designed to capitalize on a manufactured disaster for the purpose of deploying
such personnel in order to create the desired buffer zone.

Furthermore,
the same company that manufactured and fitted the ambulances to be used in the
attack is one that is based in Riyadh and was negotiating a contract with the
Yemeni government for the manufacture of military vehicles for the Yemeni
army.

A source also reported that a meeting had taken place between the
head of Al Arabiya, the Saudi news channel, and a U.S. diplomat at the U.S.
Embassy in the United Arab Emirates. As Paul Joseph Watson writes,

The purpose of the meeting was to agree upon a conditioning program to prepare the public for
the likelihood that Bashar Al-Assad’s forces would use chemical weapons. Shortly
after the meeting, Al Arabiya began running news segments depicting the
inevitability of a chemical weapons attack carried out by Assad’s
forces.

Of course, it was around this same time period that
discussions of a “red line” by the French and American Presidents as well as the
U.S. State Department and Israeli representatives began their repetition in the
mainstream media circles and hence the American public at large.

For
instance, in August, President Barack Obama warned that not only the use but merely
the transportation of chemical weapons would constitute a “red line” that would
result in military intervention. French President Hollande also stated at the time that the use
of chemical weapons “Would be a legitimate reason for direct
intervention.”

Likewise, Watson writes, Israel’s Vice Premier Silvan
Shalom told media outlets “that if Syrian rebels obtained chemical weapons from
stockpiles belonging to the Assad regime, such a development would force Israel
to resort to “preventive operations,” in other words – a military strike on
Syria.”

The creation of a “buffer zone” inside Syria is also interesting
in its own right, not just because of the necessary loss of legitimate territory
close to Syria’s borders but also because of its inherent nature of
destabilization and weakening of the ruling regime in Damascus. Thus, it is
interesting to note that, while the false flag chemical attack and the
subsequent creation of a buffer zone was designed to use the pretext of
humanitarian aid as mentioned above, such a plan follows the roadmap provided by
the Brookings Institution in a paper entitled “Saving Syria: Assessing Options for Regime Change,” published
in March 2012. The paper essentially argued for the use of a humanitarian issue
in order to engage in military intervention on the part of NATO in
Syria.

Indeed, the paper states,

An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first
on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done
under Annan’s leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and
humanitarian-corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military
power.

Yet one does not have to go any further afield in order to
understand that the plan to stage false flag chemical weapons attack inside
Syria in order to see the mass of evidence supporting such a claim.

The video (see here) starts with several scenes showing chemical
containers with Tekkim labels (Tekkim is a Turkish chemicals company) and some lab equipment, while playing Jihadists chants in the
background. A glass box then appears with two rabbits inside, with a poster on
the wall behind it reading The Almighty Wind Brigade
(Kateebat A Reeh Al Sarsar). A person wearing a lab mask then mixes chemicals in
a beaker in the glass box, and we see some gas emitting from the beaker. About a
minute later, the rabbits start to have random convulsions and then die. The person
says: You saw what happened? This will be your fate, you infidel Alawites, I
swear by ALLAH to make you die like these rabbits, one minute only after you
inhale the gas.

The Syria Tribune also comments that “Judging from
the rabbits’ reaction, the gas must be a nerve agent. The number of containers,
if not a bluff, indicates ability to produce a considerable amount of this gas.
Deployment could be by means of a smoke generator placed in the target area, an
explosion, possibly a suicide one, of a ”chemmed” car, or simply by using a humidifier."

In March,
2013, yet another YouTube video was released which contained a clip
of a second “test” of chemical weapons on captive rabbits by the death
squads.

This is quite an ironic presentation, since the Assad government
has repeatedly vowed never to use chemical weapons inside Syria, while the death
squads have repeatedly threatened to do just that. Indeed, in direct contrast to
the tone and statements of the death squads, the Syrian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Jihad Makdissi issued a statement several months ago saying, “No chemical or
biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during
the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside
Syria.”

Nevertheless, the drums of war and military intervention from the
United States, NATO, and Israel have continued to relentlessly
beat.

Indeed, the video mentioned above also contains an alleged audio
recording of a phone conversation between two Free Syrian Army fighters
discussing the “details of a plan to carry out a chemical weapons attack capable
of impacting an area the size of one kilometer.”

As Paul Joseph Watson
writes,

The recording of the phone conversation purports to be between
two FSA militants, one inside Syria and one outside of the country. Abu Hassan,
the militant inside Syria, asks the person on the other end of the line to
transmit a message to Sheikh Suleiman, a rebel-seized army base in Aleppo,
asking for “two chemical bombs ….phosphoric” in order to “finish this whole
thing.”

“I want them to be effective,” states Hassan, adding,
“The radius of the strike, or reach of the gases, has to be
1km.”

The video also contains a clip of the death squads openly
announcing their plans to engage in chemical weapons attacks, all the while
surrounded by bottles of nitric acid and other substances.
In addition, even
more circumstantial evidence points toward the possession, delivery
capabilities, and use of chemical weapons by the death squads.

Back
in December 2012, after the death squads managed to capture a chlorine factory
inside Syria, the Syrian government actually issued a warning that the death
squads might attempt to use chemical weapons of this nature in their battle to
overthrow and oppress the government and people of Syria respectively. The
Syrian Foreign Ministry stated, “Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical
weapons against the Syrian people ... after having gained control of a toxic
chlorine factory.”

Thus, with the subsequent chemical weapon attack which
has caused both a frothing and bumbling public relations response from the
Anglo-Americans, it is interesting to note that chlorine was fingered as being
one of the major ingredients.

The Syrian military is said to believe that a home-made
locally-manufactured rocket was fired, containing a form of chlorine known as
CL17, easily available as a swimming pool cleaner. They claim that the warhead contained a quantity
of the gas, dissolved in saline solution.

. . .

CL17 is normal chlorine for swimming pools or industrial
purposes. It is rated as Level 2 under the chemical weapons convention, which
means it is dual purpose - it can be used as a weapon as well as for industrial
or domestic purposes. Level 1 agents are chemicals whose sole use is as weapons,
such as the nerve agents sarin or tabun.

There has been extensive experimentation by
insurgents in Iraq in the use of chlorine, which is harmful when mixed with
water to form hydrochloric acid. It vapourises quickly, meaning that in a big
explosion it will evaporate; in a small blast - for instance, one delivered by a
home-made rocket - it will turn into airborne droplets before dispersing
quickly.

So it is likely only to produce limited casualties.
In this case there were only 26 fatalities, far fewer than would be expected
from a full chemical weapon attack. In short, it is easily improvised into a
chemical device but not one that would be used by an army seeking
mass-casualty effects. [emphasis added]

Reports by the Syrian
government coincide with the accounts given by the victims of the chemical
weapons attack which one can view in the video clip contained in the YouTube
video mentioned above. (See here) It is also important to note that many of the victims
allegedly name the Free Syrian Army and the “rebels” as the perpetrators as they
are being interviewed while waiting for medical treatment.

“The Free
Syrian Army hit us with a rocket,” one woman said. "We smelled an odor and
everyone fell to the ground. People died where they fell . . . the kids . . .
"

A young girl was also interviewed, who said, “My lungs closed and I
couldn’t breathe or speak. God curse them. Everyone died on the ground. My mom
and dad died. I don’t know where is my brother. God curse them. May they [FSA]
all die. This is the freedom they bring us. They [FSA] want to kill everyone. I
hope there remains not a single one of them [FSA] alive.”

Regardless of
the overwhelming evidence that Assad has not used chemical weapons and that the
death squads have indeed done so at every possible opportunity, the
Anglo-Americans are moving forward with their march to Damascus.

The
conquering of Syria is only one part of a larger agenda. But, in the eyes of the
Anglo-Americans, it is a “must be.”

No logic, no evidence, and no public
outcry is going to get in the way of the rampage toward a third world war – a
war which some say has already begun.
